Development of a concept from 1998 and realisation of the system for airborne multisensor reconnaissance and surveillance in crisis situations and the

This article describes the research and the activities undertaken in the last ten years (1998-2008)on the development of a civilian airborne system for reconnaissance and surveillance. The development starts as a part of postgraduate program at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic sciences, University of Zagreb. The aim was to built a multipurpose airborne laboratory for remote sensing research.The initial system consisted of a consumer television camera enclosed in remote controlled gimbal, mounted on a light aircraft. This image acquisition system was enhanced with visible/near IR camera and hyperspectral scanner, during the scientific project funded by the European Commision Airborne Minefield Area Reduction (ARC) and Space and Airborne Mined Area reduction Tolls (SMART), aimed on a mine suspected area reduction. The thermal IR camera and the positioning and orientation system, all installed on adjustable pod to be mounted on different aircraft and helicopter platforms, were added during a project aimed specifically on airborne multisensor reconnaissance and surveillance in crisis situations and the protection of the environment funded by MInistry of Science, Education and Sports of the Republic Croatia. Todax the developed airborne multisensor acquisition system is operational and ready to acquire images and data in the current minefield reduction and environment protection projects
